About this product

Description

Bloodthirsty vengeance is measured out in buckets, not spoonfuls for this hard-hitting vampire movie sequel. The story picks up right where the first UNDERWORLD left off, in the midst of a war between Lycans (werewolves) and vampires, with the gorgeous death-dealer, Selene (Kate Beckinsale), on the run with her vamp-wolf hybrid lover, Michael (Scott Speedman). The film then leaps back three centuries earlier, revealing the separation of two ultra-bad brothers, one vampire and one Lycan. The Lycan gets locked in a hidden tomb/prison and the feud begins. In the present, the winged vamp brother Marcus (Tony Curran) is determined to find his Lycan sibling and free him, which would wreak unimaginable havoc on the world. Selene's got to stop it, and the result is mayhem. Kate Beckinsale looks great with her jet-black hair, skin-tight leather bodysuit, red lips, and glowing blue eyes. Director Len Wiseman obviously has a great love for this alternate universe; he keeps the action humming, the blood running, and the cast well stocked with seasoned British actors like Sir Derek Jacobi, Bill Nighy, and Steven Mackintosh. The sex and violence may still be a bit intense for youngsters, but for the vampire crowd, it's a moveable feast of generous, still-twitching proportions.

It is rare to have a sequel that is better than the previous film, but this film manages it.
It is important that the watcher sees the previous Undereworld film before this film, as it will allow you to better understand the characters.
Kate Beckinsdale has obviously worked her way into the role, though Scott Speedman, is basically the same.
The dialogue, storyline and special effects are better than the first version and it will be interesting to see if their is a sequel to this version, though where the story will go is a mystery.
On a critical level the antics of the main characters is a little more unbelievable than the original film, buy hey this is fantasy, is'nt it?

For those of you (or should I say "us") who really got into Kate Beckinsale's azz-kicking gory days in Underworld, here's your chance for more of the same. Even though three years have passed in our time, Evolution takes up right where the first movie ended, but thanks to the magic of flashbacks we get some more background info on the blood feud and how it all began.
Way, way back, Alexander Corvinus had two sons, Marcus (Tony Curran) and William. The first was bitten by a bat and became a Death Dealer with the fangs to prove it, and the second was bitten by a wolf to become the forefather and prototype for the Lycans who get all furry and howl at the sight of a full moon. William however, was unable to control his blood lust, and made quite a nuisance of himself, until he was hunted down and locked away forever, much to Marcus's dismay and anger. Having been double crossed by Viktor (Bill Nighy), Marcus is out for revenge, and of course for blood.
Back to present day, the war between Vampire and Lycan continues, and Marcus is awakened with some new tricks up his wings and a burning desire to set William free. Standing in his way is Selene, the hottest vampire action heroine in recent movie history (Beckinsale naturally) and her trusty sidekick Michael the hybrid (Scott Speedman). Between them they unknowingly hold the key and the map to William's prison, and soon find themselves in Marcus's sights.
As far as action, CGI and drama goes, this one is a non-stop thrill.
Recommended for vampire lovers and blood suckers everywhere.Read full review

So, it goes like this. Vampires and werewolves are at war. Vampire footsoldier Selene (Kate Beckinsale) falls for a human (Scott Speedman), disgracing herself with her bloodsucking chums. Speedman promptly transforms into a hybrid Vampowolf and beats the tar out of everyone. So, Selene is on the run, pursued by an elder vampire, who is also a hybrid because somebody accidentally dripped wolf blood into his coffin. Everybody clear? Great, because get this: the movie hasn't even started yet.
Underworld: Evolution is so dedicated to its ludicrously convoluted plot that it takes half an hour to explain what the hell is going on. If you didn't see the first film, you won't have a hope of following this one, and even if you did, there are gaping holes. Why, for instance, are we suddenly in the Russian wilderness? And do they really have 24 hour restaurants out there?
"CARTOON SPLATTER"
Even for fans, Evolution's numbingly humourless script and po-faced performances would be unwatchable if it wasn't for the invigorating combination of violence and body shots. Director Len Wiseman stages his gory setpieces with a panache that's conspicuously absent from all those other scenes involving dull stuff like dialogue. Shootings, stabbings, slicings, bleedings, crushings, decapitations... Evolution takes real pride in its cartoon splatter. One poor chap gets his face punched right off. Ouchy.
The stars can't act for jam, frankly, but they're nice to look at. Speedman displays his gleaming chest at every opportunity and, not to be outdone, Beckinsale gets her latex knickers off, though sadly without the "squiiick-pop!" noise that one might reasonably expect.Read full review

As with any sequel there is always that concern as to whether it will live up to the origional, but Underworld Evolution really is a great addition to the series.
The story this time shows a lot more history and insight into the Underworld franchise and ties in amazingly with the first film. Delving into the origins of the Corvinus clan and the sons of Alexander Corvinus William and Marcus, One bitten by Wolf the other by Bat to become the first Lycan (Werewolf) and Vampire.
The story follows Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman)as they try to uncover the mystery surrounding the Corvinus clan and attempt to stop Marcus releasing his brother from his eternal prison.
Underworld: Evolution has a great cast including several British actors, returning in their previous rolls are Bill Nighy (Viktor)and Michael Sheen (Lucian) but are also joined by Steven Mackintosh (Andreas Tanis) and Derek Jacobi (Alexander Corvinus) to name but a few.
If you liked the first film or love your action movies with depth and great charactures then the Underworld series is for you.
Highly entertaining viewing.

Bloodthirsty vengeance is measured out in buckets, not spoonfuls for this hard-hitting vampire movie sequel.

Being the cause of Viktor's death, Selene can only hope to plea to the last remaining elder, Marcus. However, Marcus has already awakened and has become a more powerful creature than before. Now his only remaining goal is to awaken his Lycan brother William from his eternal imprisonment. With time running out, Selene and Michael must piece together the final clues to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines and stop Marcus before it's too late...I personally like the whole film & could not find fault action at it's very best it's well worth a watch.Read full review
